The north city circuit will immerse you in the local hangouts of the city’s hippest inhabitants. Concentrating on the vibrant and eclectic must-see neighborhoods north of the downtown core, you'll discover the incredibly diverse Plateau Mont Royal, artsy Mile End, up and coming Mile-Ex, and traditional Little Italy.  

After meeting at the departure location, you'll be fitted to your stylish city bike and helmet (optional), and meet your guide for the ride.

You’ll zig and zag through narrow streets, ‘green lane-ways’, cafe-lined boulevards and spacious parks to make sure you won’t miss a beat. Along the way your guide will point out some impressive murals that form part of Montreal ever evolving street art scene.  You will learn how the different communities and characters of each area have shaped its history and culture while discovering some of the city’s culinary delights, including the overload of local food & produce at the Jean-Talon farmer's market, North-America's largest open-air market.

Great trip through local neighborhoods, parks and markets--safe ride, tour guide Jeff was both very knowledgeable and fun! Stop for some local cheeses and fruits at the market was really nice.

Our guide Catherine was amazing. She gave us a leisurely tour of North Montreal and highlighted architectural and planning sites that were wonderful examples of how places adapt and change over time. She talked about the rise of the bike culture in Montreal, showing us routes and ways that much of the population uses most of the year. One of the high points of the tour was Marche Jean-Talon, an amazing seasonal market with incredible produce and cheese. I highly recommend the tour as a way to see a part of Montreal one might otherwise not visit.
